Out of those, Donnie Brasco is my favorite.

OUATIA without a doubt. A epic classic,

Carlitos way rise to power should not even be mentioned in the same sentence as the other films you mentioned..

The original Carlitos Way is a great movie however.

You ain't a lawyer no more, Dave. You a gangster now. On the other side. A whole new ball game. You can't learn about it in school, and you can't have a late start.

Donnie Brasco. I agree with a friend of ours, the original Carlito's Way was better than Rise To Power. It sucked IMO.

A friend, that is my favorite line in the movie as well.

It's been awhile since I've watched Carlito's Way. I remember that near the end of the film he is shot. Does he die?

I could not get past seeing Johnny " little hands" Depp trying to hit some one in Donnie Brasco. But when he said he was brought up in an orphanage that hit home with me. I had a much older friend who's whole family was brought up in an orphanage in the old days. Wives we popping out babies like there were no tommorow. So they put them in orphanages until they got their working papers and could work and help support their families.

The only part of Carlitos way I found interesting was where he came from and he knew people from Italian Harlem doing dope.

Oh not on this subject, but watch Ray Donavan this Sunday my friend Johnny Roastbeef is appearing in it he said.

He once told me he was going to be in the sequel to the movie the whole 9 yards staring Bruce Willis. The movie was the whole 10 yards something like that.

So I thought I go to the movies and see it. I went to the opening during the week I see a matinee the first show I hate crowds. On the way I run into my daughter she asks me where your going I say to see John movie. She knows him and then tells me let's call my son Vic and we can all go. So we all go we are the only people in the movie. So the movie starts John in the opening scene he wants to kill someone and he slips on water or booze and he falls out the window and dies. That it then I say he will be on a plain a flashback. Nope he is not in the movie we are laughing about it. No one in the movie I stand up and say I am buying popcorn for everyone here. Again it's just my 2 kids and me.

It over we leave I call John he told me he really fell and hurt his back so they wrote him out of the movie smile

Once Upon Time In America and it's not even close IMO. That's definitely in my Top 10.

Here's a couple of three things to know about Carlito's Way.

Edwin Torres wrote two books about the Puerto Rican gangster life in '70's NYC, Carlito's Way, and its sequel, After Hours.

The movie Carlito's Way, the classic with Pacino and Penn, is based on the sequel novel, After Hours.

The straight to video "Rise To Power", that came out a few years after Carlito's Way, is based on the first novel, titled Carlito's Way.

Torres, author of the original novels, has praised Rise to Power because it follows the novel accurately, you just have to bear with the cheap production and bad acting.


"...the successful annihilation of organized crime's subculture in America would rock the 'legitimate' world's foundation, which would ultimately force fundamental social changes and redistributions of wealth and power in this country. Meyer Lansky's dream was to bond the two worlds together so that one could not survive without the other." - Dan E. Moldea

Am i the only one who thought Millers crossing was over-rated.
